Something is happening in the Middle East. Speculation is that the Saudi pipeline may have been struck. 😟

I am so disappointed in Apple. They caved and renamed Lake Ontario to the utterly idiotic "Lake America". If you use Apple Maps, you can use the Report an Issue feature to give them a piece of your mind.

Bunnicula is a favorite and still transports me back to my childhood the moment I crack the book open. Perfect Halloween read for October.

Do the math. A few hundred masked Patriot Front men in matching khakis marched in DC today. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of us showed up to No Kings. They need uniforms and face coverings to feel powerful. We don't! Outnumbered a thousand to one, and they know it! ✊

Though very young, I remember the bicentennial because my mom bought me this Captain America comic while we shopped for 4th of July supplies. Cap traveled through time witnessing the battles that shaped America. 50 years later, I wish one of those stops had been now. We could use him. Happy 4th! 😊

Raced to the beach to catch an evening rocket launch 🚀 from Vandenberg. We didn't make it. ☹️ Had to settle for a sunset instead. 😊

This makes me so frickin' happy! Especially to see so many amazing people involved. I'm gonna date myself but, this was my first issue! I read it from cover to cover, and over and over. I remember begging my mom to buy it for me while at the grocery store. I always headed for the mags and comics! 🥰✨

My son and I went to a preview showing of Supergirl yesterday and LOVED it! Don't buy into the negativity from male reviewers expecting the blond eye candy they're accustomed to. This is a deeper character study and very moving at times. Judge for yourself and have fun. #RepresentationMatters

My Father's Day was waking up to a delicious Sunday brunch at home followed by a leisurely drive through the Ojai valley. It's what I did for my father on his last Father's Day before passing. If it becomes a bit of a tradition... I'm ok with that.

For those watching the "Trump" name removal from the Kennedy Center building, it might be a long night. ☹️ I'm guessing the delay is to push it into the middle of the night for minimal coverage. And all the scaffolding for a tarp to block the view (hope not). But it ain't ruining my vibe tonight!!! 🥳

My parents had no idea what Star Wars was when it released. They just had a boy that liked "space" stuff and thought a family outing would be fun. So, by a HUGE stroke of luck, I ended up seeing Star Wars at Grauman's Chinese Theater opening weekend! 🥹🍿 Thanks M&D! May the 4th be with you.

The Falcon 9 launched out over the Pacific from Vandenberg AFB at 10:04 PST. It missed its scheduled sunset launch which would have been spectacular! But it was still an awesome sight. 🚀✨

There’s a storm rolling in but the Falcon 9 launch from Vandenberg AFB is still a GO. We headed out to the beach for a clear view.

The Ventura, CA "No Kings" rally was fantastic! Here is one sign that I really liked. It may be 90% of the world, but I'm guessing 100% of Americans. Trump's IDIOCY is definitely a global phenomenon! 😉✊ #NoKings #Ventura

A No Kings protester holds a sign which reads "For the first time in history you can simply post 'He's and Idiot' and 90% of the world will know whom you're talking about". Yes, Trumps idiocy is definitely a global phenomenon.

Noticed this little tease in the recent @bsky.app App update... "More bug fixes and performance improvements. Next release is gonna be a banger tho :)" Gotta admit, I'm cautiously excited 🥹

A tease for the next release of the Bluesky app was found in the description notes of the latest update. It read... "next release is gonna be a banger"

Saw Predator Badlands yesterday and it was AMAZING!!! If you've been let down by the many franchise reboots in recent years... WATCH THIS movie! It's no reboot, it's an evolution! Trachtenberg is a wildly talented storyteller... a young Spielberg for a new generation.

The #NoKings event in #Ventura, California was a blast! It was a HUGE turnout for such a small coastal town. Here's a glimpse of the JOY, HOPE, and ENERGY on display from one little corner of the event. America, you have friends EVERYWHERE! 🌊🐬☀️🌴

For those of us attending No Kings protest events tomorrow. Know your rights and remain peaceful. REMEMBER, non-violent protest doesn't mean passivity. Done effectively, it exposes the aggression and brutality of the state enforcers. BEING PEACEFUL serves a PURPOSE 💙✊🕊️ #NoKings

I buried my mom today. She was laid to rest with my father who passed away last summer. He was a veteran, so they are together at a beautiful national cemetery. She chose "we love you" as the message for their plaque so visitors would always have one last message from them both. I miss them. ❤️

In these difficult times, let's remember to replenish by taking comfort in some of the simpler joys in life. For example, today is the anniversary of Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Published Sept 15, 1977. Yay! 😊

Happy #StarTrekDay! ✨ At the risk of dating myself, does anyone else have memories of these Record/Books from their childhood? They were the audio books of their day. I'd spend hours lying on the floor next to my little red record player listening. I got bit hard by the audio drama bug. 😉
